If you are interested in the modelling of electric motors, then tune into this webinar with guest speaker Omar Laldin from the Electromagnetic Motor Design Group at Faraday Future.

Increasing interest in vehicle electrification has imposed new challenges in the electric motor design field, primarily resulting from variable torque requirements over a wide speed range. Furthermore, motors are required to operate efficiently at each torque and speed to maximise the range of the vehicle. These challenges prompt the need for highly advanced and accurate analysis techniques, which often combine finite element analysis (FEA) and analytical approaches.

In this webinar, we will focus on the FEA component of evaluating a three-phase electric motor. You will get a live demonstration of setting up a parameterised model in COMSOL Multiphysics of a nonlinear-surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), including the current commands from which a flux-linkage map can be built and the peak torque capability can be determined. You can ask questions at the end of the webinar during the Q&A session.
